Prediction of Therapeutic Responses to Tocilizumab in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis: Biomarkers Identified by Analysis of Gene Expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Using Genome‐Wide DNA Microarray

Using genome-wide DNA microarray analyses, we identified candidate biomarkers that can be used to predict therapeutic responses to tocilizumab in patients with RA. These findings suggest that type I interferon signaling and metallothioneins are involved in the pathophysiology of RA.
